The problem appears to lie in in the file docviewman.cpp, editing line 71 to 
read

	(KLibLoader::self()->factory("libkatepart"));

(as opposed to factory("katepart"))

and recompiling appears to do the trick. Or if you can remember the CVS 
command switching this file to revision 1.7 (instead of 1.8, the latest) does 
exactly the same thing. I'm not sure however, if this is the ultimate 
solution: looking at the CVS logs, revision 1.7 to 1.8 is nothing other than 
changing this line from libkatepart, as it was, to katepart, and I can't help 
but feel the developer must have had a reason for doing this ;)
